AFL Barwon wishes to advise that, following an agreement between the two clubs, there will be a change to the Round 1 fixture. The match between Ocean Grove and Anglesea, originally scheduled for Saturday, 4 April, will now be played on Friday, 3 April (Good Friday).

Normal start times will apply to all football and netball games.

This opening-round contest is particularly notable, with Ocean Grove A Grade Netball and Anglesea Senior Football entering the season as reigning premiers. The rescheduled Good Friday match provides a fitting start to the 2026 season, celebrating last year’s champions while commencing another exciting year of football and netball.

The updated version of the 2026 Dow Bellarine Football Netball League Fixture can be found here.

AFL Barwon advises all affiliated clubs and stakeholders of the confirmed date and meeting details for the upcoming AFL Barwon Annual General Meetings.
